I have seperate /tmp and /var partitions as I like to control the options that they are mounted with, such as nodev, noexec, and nosuid. Also having those 2 paritions at around 400M each ensures that they don't max out the root partition, only themselves. Personally I've probably never noticed the problem because it only happens during reboot, also the fact that I tend to only use root by itself if something needs to be fixed so I'm not really there long enough to notice. I'm not quite sure how important it is to allow / to be mounted read-only, but personally for myself I would like to reach a point where / is usable by itself and /usr is just extended functionality. The system shouldn't be crippled because of the loss of that. On an additional note do you think we should include a basic text editor in to the root filesystem? Many a time I have dropped in to single user, attempted to fire up vim to edit a config file and have met with the sudden realisation that /usr, of course, isn't mounted. The functionality of / by itself is rather basic without it. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
